Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: D

Explanation

The correct answer is option 4 i.e. Jharkhand.

The Subarnarekha River basin is primarily located in Jharkhand, where the river originates from the Chota Nagpur Plateau near Ranchi. However, its basin also extends into parts of Odisha and West Bengal before ultimately emptying into the Bay of Bengal. While Jharkhand holds a significant portion of its upper and middle course, all three states share the geographical expanse of the Subarnarekha's drainage area.
